Is there anything better than a road trip? All the new sights to see, the new smells to sniff, the new trees to pee. Nope, nothing better, unless . . .
it's a road trip with a box of food and beds following every mile of the way.
We are a family of dogs traveling across the country with our mom and dad (cause dad has to drive and mom has to feed us). We'll be taking pics and videos of cool stuff we see and do.

DUCK TAPE FESTIVAL FINALE and LOTS MORE!

We salute all Veterans today (including our Dad)! In honor of Veterans Day, we want to mention the Pets for Patriots organization. Click on the logo to learn more about this organization that is committed to bringing together veterans and homeless, last-chance pets.

Today is also the DUCK TAPE FESTIVAL FINALE and we just want to say it's been a BLAST and we want to THANK efurryone who entered a DUCK TAPE CREATION and efurryone who stopped by to check out the amazing DUCK TAPE CREATIONS! And please check out our adorable adoptable at the end of today's post!

Before we show you today's DUCK TAPE CREATIONS, this is for BERT ~ hat's off to you, buddy!

Now ~ on to the show! Our first ARTSY FARTSY DUCK TAPE entry today comes from WYATT and STANZIE - just in time for THANKSGIVING!

We've taken the liberty of naming their creation - TURDUCKEN! We kind of, um, appropriated the name and changed its original definition :) but we think it fits perfectly for these adorable DUCK TAPE TURKEYS that can be used as Placecard Holders OR a centerpiece for your Thanksgiving table! Wyatt and Stanzie's Mom have provided a list of supplies to make your very OWN TURDUCKEN ~

Pinecones

Duct Tape

Glue gun

Glass of wine (optional)

We suggest you go easy on that wine so you don't end up DUCK TAPING or GLUING all your furs! BOL!

Great for indoor dining at a proper table OR

Outside for a picnic!

We've got TONS of pine cones around here - Kayla likes to use them to clean her teeth. Wonder if we could get Wyatt and Stanzie to create some cool DUCK TAPE CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS, too?! Whattaya say, guys? How about it?

Thanks to Wyatt and Stanzie for sharing these super adorable and creative turkeys with us. Hope we get to see pics of your Thanksgiving table with these little guys on it!

And now, for our GRAND FINALE ~ our final entry comes from none other than HIZ HONOR MAYOR FRANKIE FURTER! You're not going to believe what Frankie created from DUCK TAPE - his arch nemesis - a SNOWMAN! BOL!

We're not sure what DUCK TAPE FRANKIE has in mind for this SNOWMAN, but we're betting it's not gonna be good for the SNOWMAN! Or . . . could it be that Frankie's decided to become furiends with the snowman? Maybe having a new Ernie puppy around has mellowed Frankie's feelings about SNOWMEN?! Is this a story in the making??? Guess we'll just have to stay tuned to Frankie's blog to see where this new furiendship is headed . . .

Thanks Mayor Frankie for taking time out of your puppy-raising (not to mention MAYORAL) duties to share your DUCK TAPE CREATION with us. AND for co-hosting this fabulous BLOGVILLE DUCK TAPE FESTIVAL. We sure had fun seeing all the DUCK TAPE CREATIONS! They really surpassed anything we imagined and we hope they have inspired your own DUCK TAPE ideas!

Now, we did promise PRIZES and PRIZES there will be. All the entries are so wonderful, we could never choose a "BEST" so we're gonna choose the easy way - we (The Road Dogs and Mayor Frankie), will each randomly choose (without peeking!), one winner from EACH CATEGORY - one for ARTSY FARTSY CREATION and one for DUCK TAPE IN ACTION. We will each post the winners on our blogs on MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14! So stay tuned . . . and hang on . . .

Today is also the last "official" day for MAYZIE'S RESCUE ME HOME WEEK. But, with all the amazing participation this week, we have a feeling the spirit of RESCUE ME HOME WEEK will continue and we'll be seeing more adorable adoptables popping up all over Blogville! Thank you Mayzie for encouraging efurryone to get involved and help pups find their furever homes!

Our adorable adoptable today is living right down the street from us at our wonderful vet's, Dr. Ruth (Sun Dog Cat Moon).

Phantom taking over Dr. Ruth's chair!

Her name is Phantom and she's an English Setter. She's about 3-4 years old and has been spayed. Phantom had heartworms and our super fantastic vet has treated her and she's going on one month clear of the nasty heartworms! Mom has met Phantom in the fur and says she is a sweetie! In fact, Mom & Dad are going to get up close and fursonal with her today and take her for a walk and maybe some zoomies since she's been kinda cooped up and not able to get the proper exercise 'cause of the heartwork treatment. But she's good to go now and ready for her furever home that will give her plenty of love and exercise! If you've got a soft spot for high-energy Setters and want to know more about Phantom, just email us and we'll put you in touch with Dr. Ruth and the Setter rescue that's sponsoring sweet Phantom.

Whew! This has been a busy blogging week! Hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did!
